Murder on the Orient Express
by Agatha Christie
Euclid is known as “the father of geometry”. He was the first person to create an organized book of geometry. Euclid’s Elements, a 13 volume series, was considered the geometry textbook for the next 2000 years. He also wrote other books, including Data, Optics, and On Divisions of Figures, but he is less famous for these. Little is known about Euclid’s life. In fact, all that is known is that he lived in some span of time before 200 B.C. and after 347 B.C. Despite a lack of information about his life, Euclid was the most important mathematician; the father of geometry.
One of the oldest surviving fragments of Euclid's Elements.

Mother Tells Son
I'll tell you, Son; Life hasn't been a paved road; There've been nails, Sharp rocks too, And potholes and pitfalls, It's worse than I have told you. But I've been hiking on And reachin' meadows And sometimes goin' in caves Where it's completely dark, And reachin' cave-ins, But I've been goin' on. So, keep goin', Don't turn back, Keep going.
Good work above. You can delete comments after you've read them and confirmed the grades are on Aires. It's interesting to note that we know so little about Euclid. 4's on both projects above. Mr. Chester

Mother Tells Son
I'll tell you, Son;
Life hasn't been a paved road;
There've been nails,
Sharp rocks too,
And potholes and pitfalls,
It's worse than I have told you.
But I've been hiking on
And reachin' meadows
And sometimes goin' in caves
Where it's completely dark,
And reachin' cave-ins,
But I've been goin' on.
So, keep goin',
Don't turn back,
Keep going.
